As a highly efficient insecticide, thiamethoxam was widely used in the world. However, it was bioaccumulative and toxic to aquatic organisms that must be removed from water. In this work, nanoscale zero-valent iron particles loaded on montmorillonite (nZVI/Mt) were successfully synthesized for effective removal of thiamethoxam. The properties of…[Read more]

Our findings confirm the HLA class II association with podoconiosis suggesting HLA-mediated abnormal induction and regulation of immune responses may have a direct role in its pathogenesis.Carbon capture and utilization for concrete production (CCU concrete) is estimated to sequester 0.1 to 1.4 gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) by 2050. However,…[Read more]

The prevalence of stroke among atrial fibrillation patients was 19.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) 14.9-25.2). Patients with heart failure (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 5.70, 95% CI 2.50-13.24) and thyroid disorder (AOR 4.98, 95% CI 1.47-16.85) are at risk of developing stroke.

The prevalence of stroke was higher compared with others…[Read more]
